Prins Hendrikstraat 1381501 AW ZaandamPrins Hendrikbuurt

What a fantastic location! A wide, unobstructed view over the Voorzaan, a quiet and friendly neighborhood with local-traffic-only streets, yet within walking distance of the city center. Are you looking for the charm of the 1930s combined with modern comfort? This unique home has energy label B, thanks in part to the NEW FOUNDATION with a concrete floor (2013) and uPVC window frames (2022). Large windows on all sides and high ceilings create an abundance of light and space. From the front garden you look out over the Eiland and the Havenbuurt, although most neighbors spend sunny days along the Zaan waterfront, enjoying life in and on the water. Yes, the house has been modernized—but always with respect for its authenticity. The distinctive layout, with the entrance in the center and the hallway separating the living room from the kitchen, continues across all three floors. This design maximizes the open-water views and the greenery on the opposite bank. A very important structural improvement has already been completed. The foundation has been fully renewed, ensuring stability for the future. It has been filled with insulation and fitted with underfloor heating. The replacement of the windows, doors, and frames with uPVC also contributes significantly to climate control. An energy label B is impressive for a property of this age and character. Inside, the interior is sleek where appropriate and classically traditional where possible—such as the transom windows. This beautifully reflects the atmosphere of the past, while the ground floor features modern PVC flooring in a wood look that also serves as the heating source. The living room is oriented toward the waterfront, while the kitchen impresses with its handleless modern design. The classic stainless-steel gas range forms a tasteful link to the past. On the two floors above, three generous bedrooms, one with its own washbasin, a large storage room, and a wonderfully comfortable bathroom follow the unique shape of the house. Tapered lengths and widths, surprising angles, and varied ceiling heights create an interesting spatial experience. The staircase, with landings and original woodwork, leads to the rooftop terrace of almost 16 m²—fully sheltered, above the bustle, and a perfect place to unwind after a long day.

Across the street lies the bank of the Voorzaan, where it is always a pleasure to watch life on the water. Parking is available right in front of the house. The quay also forms the access route to the national highway network. Within about 15 minutes, drivers can reach the Amsterdam A10 ring road, even during rush hour. Schools, sports facilities, playgrounds, and the NS train station are all within cycling—or even walking—distance. Zaandam is a full-fledged city with a rich history and a lively, youthful center.
